Night Music is an 1994 album by Joe Jackson.[1]
With Night Music and the subsequent effort, Heaven and Hell (1997), his retirement from the mainstream seemed permanent.[1][3] Night Music attempted to fuse his pop and classical tastes, including instrumentals and guest vocals by Máire Brennan of Clannad, but it did not chart.[4] After it was released, Jackson left Virgin and signed to Sony Classical.[4]
